Mechanical watch and quartz watch how to choose?

Let's start with mechanical watches. Mechanical watches are the ancestor of watches. From the oldest wall clocks and seat clocks to the watches worn on our hands today, they are of the same origin. And this kind of watch has a common point, it needs to apply kinetic energy for the clock and watch through a specific device. In the early years, the way of "bow string" was used to store kinetic energy, and the wearer needed to supplement kinetic energy for the watch.

May say "bow string" a lot of people do not know what is, modern call "clockwork", mechanical watch is called mechanical watch, is because there is a complex internal gear bite structure, spring storage kinetic energy will drive the gear to keep rotating, gear rotation speed will meet the loss of time, so as to achieve the role of timing, time.

But with the continuous breakthrough of technology, some watch producers have developed a mechanical watch that does not need manual winding operation, this kind of mechanical watch by the movement of the automatic rotation disk swing around to generate power to drive the spring, that is to say, as long as the wearer often or occasionally shake the arm, will complete the power of the watch, so as to achieve the purpose of continuous walking.

Next say quartz watch, may say quartz watch sounds like some senior, but if it is another name, it is estimated that many people must know, that is "electronic watch", is the kind of small shop selling 6 yuan a kind of. In fact, quartz watch is a kind of electronic watch, the world's first electronic watch was born in 1955 in Switzerland, its full name is "pendulum hair electronic watch", because of the internal vibration system, oscillator is different, electronic watches and divided into three categories, and quartz watch is one of them.

Let's talk about why quartz watch, the reason why it is called quartz watch, because there is quartz crystal inside, and quartz crystal under the influence of electricity will produce regular vibration, there is a mechanism after calculation, quartz crystal vibration times reached 32768 times, is equal to one second in the real world, so people use batteries to quartz watch electricity, it vibrates 32768 times, The circuit will drive the needle forward for one second.

The reason why quartz is chosen as the vibration source is that quartz crystal under the stimulation of electric power, its vibration frequency is very stable, almost no changes, and the quality of quartz is not high, most quartz crystals can meet.

Finally, let's compare the advantages and disadvantages of two kinds of watches, mechanical watch is driven by machinery, by gear rotation, power from the spring, one is manual winding, one is swing automatic winding; The quartz watch is completely driven by electricity, belongs to a quartz watch, as long as the existence of electricity, then it can keep turning.

If more seriously, from the convenience point of view, mechanical watch will be more trouble than quartz watch, no matter what kind of mechanical watch, is the need to wind, or manual winding, or often wear, if stored for a period of time, mechanical watch will stop. But quartz watches do not have this disadvantage, as long as the watch battery is charged, it will keep moving.

And the time error of the mechanical watch is relatively large, after all, it is a mechanical structure, even if again precise, gear rotation, mutual occlusion, will become more and more inaccurate with the passage of time. And quartz watch because of electric vibration quartz, its accuracy is higher than mechanical watches.
